Clinical Safety and Quality Indicators
At Calvary St John’s Hospital, we take quality and safety seriously. We also support a culture of openness and transparency to foster positive partnerships with our consumers. To provide transparency, we are pleased to publish hospital quality and safety data alongside the Australian Commission in Safety and Quality in Healthcare benchmarks.
We take falls prevention seriously
We will conduct a risk screen on arrival and will develop a personalised fall prevention plan to reduce the chances of any falls. Please make sure you come to our facility with properly fitted shoes with a non-slip sole.
Calvary St John’s Hospital is aware it is above the industry benchmark. We have implemented a number of quality initiatives focused on falls prevention. We expect to be below benchmark next reporting period.
What does this mean?
A lower number means fewer falls, we aim to have the lowest number and be under the industry benchmark. The number of falls is divided by the number of people who have been sent home from our facility. Doing this allows us to compare with industry.
We take infections seriously
At St John’s, we take Infection prevention seriously. Infection prevention and control aims to reduce the risk of patients acquiring preventable healthcare-associated infections. Infectious agents transmitted during the provision of health care come primarily from interaction with other people – patients, clinicians and visitors. We have implemented a prevention program to ensure you stay safe.
This information comes from the patient information system about every person cared for at Calvary. It includes a broad range of infection types including surgical, gastrointestinal or urinary infections as well as important germs which can be resistant to antibiotics. Expert Infection Prevention and Control nurses use this and other clinical information to further reduce the risks in our hospitals.
